That's not the right type of scaling for that kind of graphics because the scalled image is smoothed and the graphics don't look as sharp as they should be. IMHO they should support some scaling (x2, x3, x4, etc), even with CSS is

Why is Vala a "feature" worth mentioning? I mean, I don't use software and notice the language used to program it. IMHO I've used buggy software that happens to be written in Vala, but I wouldn't say it is because o

I wonder what is the policy regarding their Debian repositories now that 1.6 is stable (currently we have 1.4.x installed from that same repo). They broke some stuff in the past moving to 1.4 from an older release, it would be nice to have

I would be nice if the article was amended to acknowledge the fact that a SELinux sandbox actually avoids "the problem". I'm being confused with the "you will likely need to install it first: yum install xorg-x11-apps&qu

Thanks, I can look for a CVE myself ;) My point is that having a proper security page is a good practice and I really appreciate it as user.

The CLI is running in a processor, isn't it? I guess your argument is that the software using CLI is potentially affected by more bugs ;)

Apparently that's for free users, for annual subscribers "[...] the service will remain available until 1 June and data available for a further two months". Not that it changes things a lot, but two months is definitely bette

A "micro compiler" doesn't qualify as "real production compiler". I think pointing out that a lexer/parser could have been used is relevant in this case.

I got 1.2 in my ZTE Open and, although there's an improvement, I wouldn't bother. Go for 1.3 release candidate (at least! 1.4 got feature complete some days ago, but it might be a little bit on the edge).

Well, there's also stuff that you can't see in the "release notes". I found that Firefox 27 had huge speed improvements in canvas 2D compared to Firefox 26, at least in Linux without hardware accelerated canvas. I couldn

That's why creative commons licenses are useful. If the content they want to use is under CC, they don't need to ask because the terms are perfectly clear. There's also fair use, but IANAL and I think that they should definit
